There are a number of software packages that should work. Photoshop, for example. If you have Microsoft office you can use the photo editor. right click on the image and select properties. then change the resolution

"Image Resolution

Image resolution is sometimes called spatial resolution and refers to the number of pixels in the image, measured in pixels per inch. A 6-megapixel digital camera will produce images that are roughly 3,000 by 2,000 pixels.



Note!!!



If you have a computer that is getting a bit old or slow, do not try this next exercise. You may regret it!



Open the image 'highresolution.tif' using Photoshop Elements. This is a high-resolution image captured with a 6-megapixel camera. Open the image size dialogue box: select Image>Resize>Image size. Note that the image size is over 14 megabytes. The image measures 2,560 pixels by 1,920 pixels. This image would be over 35 inches wide if shown on a monitor at 72 dpi. Do you have a 36-inch monitor?



Leave Photoshop Elements open for now and start PowerPoint. On a blank slide select Insert>Picture>From File, navigate to the chapter folder and double-click the file 'flower.jpg.' Note that it is far too big for the slide (Fig. 4.2: we thought we would spare you the operative image and let you play with some images from my garden instead!). Most people would simply drag the corner of the image to make it fit, but this leaves the image at the same file size (hope you have a really fast laptop!).



Go back to Photoshop Elements and open the image 'flower.jpg.' We want the image to fit on the PowerPoint screen. Select Image>Resize>Image Size, make sure that 'constrain proportions' is ticked before you change the image size. In the 'Image Size' window, under 'Pixel Dimensions' you will see width and height dimensions. If the dimensions are specified as a percentage, click the drop-down arrows to change these to pixels. Change the number of pixels in width to 400.



Note!!!



By default the image dimensions are 'constrained', this means that when the width is increased or decreased the height scales by the same amount.



You'll notice next to 'Pixel Dimensions' the image size has been reduced to 352 kilobytes. Save the new image as a .jpeg file ('myflower' will do) and see how much smaller it is now. Using minimal compression to retain quality, it reduces to about 211 kilobytes. Yes, you really have reduced a 14-megabyte image to 211 kilobytes without any loss of quality."

The problem is, that slides in powerpoint are made to a max resolution of 1024*768 or smaller. As far as I know (though I haven't played too much with 2003 and above) there is no way of telling powerpoint to use a higher resolution. Exporting to a higher resolution would just mean blowing up the picture, making the size larger without increasing quality. Consider making printwork in another program such as publisher or a graphics editing program.

This is what I would suggest:



Open the slide in powerpoint and view it full screen.



Hit the "PrintScreen/SysRq" button (this captures and copies whatever is on your screen)



Open Photoshop (or a similar program), and past the screen capture onto a canvas that is set to the same resolution as your screen.



Crop it if necessary to get what you want on the picture.



Go to Image --> Resize --> Image Size. . .



Set your DPI for 720



Save image as a JPEG (or whatever file format you prefer)



You should now have a massively large picture file.



I hope this proves helpful.

in the Slideshow set up verbal substitute field make constructive that the determination is desperate at 1440x900 (slowest, maximum fidelity). it is the only component i can think of of on the 2d. wish it facilitates!
